3RDL

LED Indication - Discrete Overview

The Bivar Inc. 3RDL is a standard through-hole LED indicator featuring a 3mm (T1) package design with a diffused lens. It operates at a forward voltage of approximately 2.1V and emits red light at a wavelength of 700nm. The component offers a typical luminous intensity of 0.5mcd with a 35-degree view angle. Available in flanged and shouldered lead frame configurations, it supports surface mount or through-hole installation styles depending on the specific suffix variant.

LED Indication - Discrete Procurement Notes

Verify the specific lead frame configuration required for your assembly process. Confirm that the selected variant matches the mounting style constraints of the target PCB layout. Ensure compatibility with standard 3mm hole spacing before finalizing procurement orders.

LED Indication - Discrete Selection Notes

Choose between flanged and shouldered variants based on mechanical retention needs. Consider the 35-degree viewing angle for visibility requirements. Verify forward voltage tolerance against the driving circuit specifications to ensure reliable operation within the intended thermal environment.

LED Indication - Discrete Part Context

This component belongs to Bivar's standard LED indication series, designed for general-purpose visual signaling. It complements their broader portfolio of light pipes and rigid light guides, providing a direct emission solution where optical transport is not required.

LED Indication - Discrete Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other 3mm through-hole red LEDs with similar 2.1V forward voltage and 700nm wavelength. Verify pinout compatibility and mechanical dimensions when cross-referencing with alternative manufacturers' offerings.
